THE WATER METERS.
Getting Ready for Their Introduction
Into Hotels, Livery Stables, etc.

Under recent act OF Congress 1t is necessary
that all hotels, livery stables andOther places re-
curing large supply OF water shall erect and
maintain, at their own expense, q meter for the
purpose Of determining the quantity used. The
engineer department OF the District government
has prepared list Of all these consumers. The
commissioners have advertised for proposals for
furnishing one hundred and ninety meters.
IL is probable that after these have been
tested and found accurate by tho water depart
ment they Will be furnished to each consumer az
the lowest possible price. But It Is uncertain
that this Will be done. It Is matter which Is
optional Win the Commissioners, and they may
not see Mt TO supply the meters.
the law above mentioned permits Q charge Of
not more than three cents per hundred feet or
thirty cents per thousand. This - lust twenty
cents on the thousand more than the present rata.
Capt. Symons said TO aSrAR reporter YESTERDAY IN
this respect that there Will never be any noceestfY
for the District 70 charge as much a. thirty cont

when it is out OF date to care whether q man is

It is said that the managers OF the National En-
campment, which is to take place in Washington
In May, are in quandary. 1t came about In this
wise: Certain negro companies made enlry, wish

they were promptly accepted, no objection being
made-hoW could there be any?-to their having
equal privileges with the crack soldiers OF the
crack regiments OF the country.
But it Is reported that certain companies Of
white soldiers were offended, and % seriously that
they will refuse to participate. We hesitate to be-
Neve this, but the evidence Is SO strong that we
dare not deny the rumor.
We would much rather believe however that
there is mistake somewhere. There is not q ma
ton on the earth that would not be glad to get
new regiment OF soldiers to help hight its battles
and they might, II they chose, paint themselves
bOttlegreen take bath In all the coi0rs OF the
rainbow. England in India and Africa doesn't care
whether her troops are bleached or black provided
they know how TO light. Color has nothing 70 do

TIE NEW TAY-SALR Law,
The act, approved January 90 last, "relatfng to
sales for taxes in the District of Columbia" which
the authorities hope will be more effective than
the old laws In enforcing tax sales provides "that
hereafter sales OF real estate after advertisement
as required by law, by the collector of taxes for the
District OF Columbia for taxes or assessments that
nave Deen or may be levied by the Commissioners
OF said District, or by other lawful authority shall
81 en1ltie the purchaser, his heirs or assigns
II the property be not redeemed within
Two years from the date OF such sale,
10 0eed from the Commissioners Of the District,
which deed shall vest in the grantee good and
valid title, and shall be presumptiVe evidence in
all controversies In relation thereto that the prop
erty so conveyed was subject to the taxes for
which the property was sold, that such taxes were
not paid, and that the property was not redeemed
before the execution OF the deed, and that the
manner OF levy notice, sale, and all the other pre-
requisites OF law were complied with necessary
and proper to make such deed and title valid"
Under the old law 1t might have been difficuN,
especially in cases dating Tar back into the past
for the holder Of tax deed to prove the regularity
OF all the prelimtnartes. Under the new law the
man With the tax title will not be obliged To do
that, but the party contesting his title win have
TO prove some trregularity and it is claimed that
this may be quite as difficult as an attempt to
prove regularity.

ARE MILDER sTIMuLANTs DRIVING OUT THE FIERY
PRODUCTS OF THE STILL?
In his quarterly report Mr. Switzler, the chief OF
the Bureau Of Statistics, states that, in round
numbers, the consumption OF distilled spirits,
domestic and imported, in this country is shown
to have increased from 3o0O, 900 gallons in 1910
to 600 900 in 1885, of wines, from 800 900 gal
Ions to 22,0OO,0OO, and of malt liquors, from
%, 600 600 to 642, 200 gallons. The consump-
ton per capita during the same period decreased,
as regards distilled spirits, from about ~ gallons
TO ABOUT N gallons and increased, as regards
wines, from 29-lO0th to 3S-1OOth gallons, and
malt liquors from less than ~ gallons to more
than IL gallons.
A statement prepared for the bureau by Mr. F.
n Barrett, editor OF the Ne,u York Grocer, esti-
mates the annual expenditure for liquors OF all
kinds In this country to be O,O0O, 600. He
shows also that during period of i've years the
amount OF beer drank has steadily increased, while
the amount OF wine has decreased. '.During this
period, /" he says, "the consumption OF coffee has
risen from 2-lO per capita to 11-1OO pounds.

lants are driving out their fiery competitor? And
